The greatest strength is the smiles of children that return after pain.
There are moments when your heart tightens – when we see little ones with the most severe diagnoses fighting for their lives. But there are other moments – the ones we live and work for, the ones that keep us going.
When our little beneficiaries, who have undergone complex neurosurgical operations, are finally home. When they laugh, hug their parents, take their first steps, say their first words.
When a child who was in intensive care yesterday is now holding their favorite toy.
These moments are our wings. They give us the strength to keep going, even when it's hard. In those moments, we know that we are doing the most important work – giving children a chance at life.
We thank every doctor who creates miracles every day:
– neurosurgeons who save young lives in critical conditions
– surgeons who bravely take on the most difficult cases
– rehabilitation specialists who restore movement and hope
– neonatologists and anesthesiologists who stand by during the most critical times
– all the medical staff who stay up at night by the children’s beds
Your work is more than medicine. It is a mission that changes lives.
We want to express our heartfelt gratitude to an incredible person – Svitlana Yakivna Starenka, a neonatologist who has been standing by the cradle of life for decades. A person who fights every day for every breath and heartbeat, giving hope to those who had none.
It is a great honor for us to walk alongside you for over ten years. Your professionalism, kindness, gentleness, and care are a light that never fades, even in the hardest moments.
You are a true example of dedication, strength, and love for life.
Endless gratitude to Svitlana Yakivna and the entire team at Ohmatdyt – for little Matvii and for hundreds of children whose lives you have saved.
Every child with Spina Bifida who smiles, grows, and thrives at home today is the result of shared love, professionalism, and compassion.
We are grateful for the opportunity to be close. To walk this journey – from ICU to life, from tears to laughter, from fear to hope.
Every such story proves again: kindness and care heal not only the body, but also the heart.
Together we are a great heart beating for a childhood without pain.
Together we are a force that lifts to life.
